Brief introduction of Louguantai

Historical Louguantai Taoist Temple is the place where Laozi talks about morality and classics. It is named after Dr. Zhou Yin Xi, who is good at astronomy and astrology. He built a building here to look at the stars and the sky. Lao Tzu is welcome to give lectures here. Therefore, Louguantai can be said to be the birthplace of Taoist culture and the sacred place of Taoist ancestral temple. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, more than 60 emperors paid homage or sent people to pay homage to Laozi 100 times, which was repeatedly built. For example, Qin Shihuang built the Qing Palace in front of the thatched cottage, Han Wudi built the Fairy Palace, and Tang Gaozu built Zongsheng Temple as a royal ancestral temple.
